Zuma

2015

Product design for Peter Pepper, a leading manufacturer of furniture and accessories for contract and commercial interiors.

Zuma is a portable acoustic screen that can easily be repositioned by one person and quickly stored when not needed. Perfect for open plan workspaces, conference centers, or universities, Zuma consists of a low-profile steel base and a removable screen that slots onto the base. The steel base plate is designed to stack when stored and its shape allows for arrangements of multiple screens. The low-profile base also allows the screen to be placed next to sofas or ottomans to create privacy for meetings. The fabric-covered screen consists of a lightweight frame with sound-absorbing filling. Zuma is inspired by how surfboards are carried underarm and stored vertically in the sand.
